Gu Xijiu closed her eyes and contemplated for a moment, then turned towards Long Siye and asked, "Instructor Long, do you wish to serve the prince?"Long Siye mused, and before long, he said, "I will listen to what you say." In other words, he agreed.
Yun Yanli smiled. "Miss Gu has a refres.h.i.+ng candor." He looked at the people around and said with a friendly but forceful tone, "Everyone, you are the talents of the earth, hence in the Saha World, I will not mistreat you. In the Saha World, we appreciate talents, and if all of you put in the effort, you will not have to worry about succeeding in the future…
His pep talk was encouraging, suppressing the negative mood caused by Princess Ya moments ago. Everyone, in fact, could no longer go back to where they once were, and would not go to the devil either. Hence, thinking it through, they realized that all they could do was to stay and wait for orders.
Yun Yanli roamed about before the others as if checking on the qualification of the people standing before him that day. As he was done, he heaved a sigh of relief, and claimed, "Today each of you here has vast potential! If all of you do not mind, once erasing your memories, you could fall under the command of myself in the army; as for what position you will receive, it depends on your hard work and your capabilities."
The army is the place where one could be trained to their greatest potential, and where the chances of getting a promotion were the highest. Those who qualified for the army were all impressive, and since everyone who got there had been extraordinary, they were confident enough to accept the offer instantly! The prince so easily resolved a crisis. It seemed that he was a man with a grasp of politics.
Gu Xijiu did not think of staying for too long. She was not there to meddle with matters in heaven; hence, once she got Long Siye"s matter settled, she turned and was ready to leave.
Yun Yanli called her from behind. "Miss Gu, please stay."
Gu Xijiu turned around and asked, "Is there anything we need to discuss?"
Yun Yanli said gently, "You are the first person in ten thousand years to come to heaven without ascending. I admire what you have done, but since it is your first time here, you are most likely unfamiliar with the rules here. In the Saha World, to prevent the invasion of spies from the gates of the devil, it is a rule that everyone reveals their true nature. Since it was my first time seeing such a lady like you, I did not tell you about this rule just now. I am just wondering if you could take off your mask and reveal your true ident.i.ty?" He was extremely polite in his request.
Gu Xijiu stood there for a moment to ponder. Everyone else was, in fact, curious about Gu Xijiu"s true ident.i.ty; in a moment, she was surrounded by people.
Princess Ya"s eyebrows twitched. She had already been annoyed by Yun Yanli"s stark courtesy when speaking to Gu Xijiu, only that she had been keeping her discontent to herself. Now that he had made the request, and Gu Xijiu looked hesitant, she bit her red lips slightly and judged under her breath that Gu Xijiu had a face too ugly to be seen.
She had the malicious thought to embarra.s.s Gu Xijiu. Hence, she said laughingly, "Brother, I guess this Miss Gu has her reasons for not taking off her mask… After all, in the Saha World, everyone has a distinguished beauty. Taking the mask off will only make her too inferior to roam about in this world…"
Among the crowd, many felt the same, and they gradually nodded. Yun Yanli frowned, and said, "Little Ya, what nonsense! External beauty is only a sh.e.l.l,
